ALBUM REVIEW
Typhoon – ‘Offerings’
❉ A sprawling, ambitious, dense album, packed with drama and feeling.
Thor & Friends – ‘The Subversive Nature Of Kindness’

Edgar Breau – ‘Edgar Breau’
❉ A touching and quizzical album, from a gent who has long deserved far wider exposure.
Blind Idiot God ‘Undertow’ & Azonic ‘Prospect Of The Deep Volume One’
❉ We look at the reissue of 1989 album Undertow, and Andy Hawkins’ revived solo project Azonic.
Cherry Red Reissue Round-Up

Hy Maya – ‘The Mysticism of Sound And Cosmic Language’ reviewed
❉ Never-before-released recordings from the ‘Brotherhood Of The Unknown’ that prefigured Pere Ubu.
Morrissey – ‘Low In High School’
❉ Perhaps the ‘real’ title of this album should be: Morrissey Doesn’t Give A Fuck What You Think.

I Can Still See: Pere Ubu – ’20 Years In A Montana Missile Silo’
❉ “Self-expression is evil. If thine eye offend thee…”
